Mom 4-16 poem
The pain I feel after losing you will never subside. In fact today, I broke down and cried. I can’t stop reliving it, and trust me I’ve tried.
How do you go on without your best friend? When the only thing you want is to see her again. I just need this pain to end, I need this nightmare to be pretend.
I regret being so strong when you were alive. I truly believed that you would survive. I promised you’d beat this, I now know I lied. I couldn’t accept it, but I should’ve just tried.
I now have so many words left unsaid. I should’ve been there that weekend comforting you in bed. I should’ve rushed there that morning, but I slept instead. All these painful regrets I try to erase from head.
Every night I think about your last moments here and I ask god why. Why wasn’t I there to say good bye? How could this happen, how could she die?
Sometimes I feel acceptance but only in spurts. Then I remember your never coming back and the pain reverts. I miss you so much mom, it physically hurts.
But for you, I will put the pain down as often as I can and I will try to remember that I’ll see you again. I will go on living and I will be strong. I just hope that my life is not that long. I know you’d say, that is so wrong, but wherever you are is wherever I belong.

Scared of death
I keep getting these thoughts at the back of my head that when I grow up, at some point my mom will pass away. And I hate it. She means a lot to me, and just no...
Step one: Don't blame yourself. Don't. It's not going to do any good. These types of things are inevitable and unexpected. How could you have known? Exactly. You couldn't have. Death is a hard thing to cope with... It really is. These people that you love, gone so quickly; too quick for you to have caught your breath, sure. But these are the types of things that are going to make you stronger. It sounds like you had a pretty good relationship with your mother, no? It sounds like you truly loved her. Don't blame yourself... I'm sure she loved you too. She's looking down at you right now:). It's okay to cry, friend. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to scream and express these emotions, but in the end, know that there was nothing to be done. It will hurt. It truly will hurt. But, this pain will surpass and compromise with a new emotion known as acceptance. Remember how strong you are and carry this within your soul. I commend you for this extreme amount of honesty you were able to deliver. Things will get better:)
